The ordinance redisricting the city of Omaha is now up to the mayor, having been passed unanimously by the city coun cil Tuesday night and it Is expected the mayor will affix his signature moat any time. "I don't aee why I shouldn't sign It." said the mayor, "there seems to be no ob jections to It and ths high moguls say It Is all right, so why should I bother myself about objecting." To find out Just where they are the voters will have to study the map. Every ward haa been tampered with and only close study of the new ordinance will enable residents of old wards to get the lay of the new lines. Where there were formerly nine wards there are now twelve and where ther were formerly . oeventy-slx voting precincts there are now fifty-four. The new wards are divided into voting pre cincts aa follows: - First, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Eleventh and Twelfth wards have four precincts each; while th Second, Third. Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Tenth have five voting precincts each. In compiling th ordinance and laying out the precincts the legal department took th registration, 21,000, and divided that number by the total number of machines purchased which give a little less than 400 voters to the precinct. The lines were then laid out according to population and not In accordance with,. land area. The council and legal department think the ordinance Is aa fair as It could be made and that It does not give political advantage to any one party.

She dropped Into the council chamber at the city hall Tuesday while the members of the council were having their committee meeting before meeting a a council. The membera of the committee were not certain whether ahe dropped in or Juat happened in, but anyhow, she got In about the time Councilman Zlmman, Huntington, Schroeder and a number of outsiders were engaged In very earnest conversation. "Pardon me," she said, as she broke one of Zlmman's sentencea In two, "you are ttie head of the line, ao I shall begin with you." The president of the council gasped and said nothing, while the little woman laid out a magazine on th desk in front of him. "I merely want your name and 10 cents," she said, "and I will send you the book a year. How do you spell It?" Zlmman spelled It and handed out his dime. So did Huntington, Evans, O'Brien aad the whole bunch, and It didn't take her three minutes. "What have we bought?" remarked Zlm man, as the girl sailed out to other fields. "I don't know," chorused the bunch, "but If we did business aa rapidly as she did every one of ua would be re-elected." DR.

OBJECT IS TO PROTECT PETERS' MILLS Coastrartloa ot These Plaats Will Go Forward Now that the Water Faellltle Hav Beea Provided. Acting upon an order Issued by the roavor and council, water hydrants have been lo cated at Twenty-seventh and B. Twenty- eighth and B and Twenty-ninth and B. isotlc that these hydrants were In service was received by th city clerk Wednesday afternoon. Th object of locating these hvdranta Is for th purpose of furnishing water and 1 fir protection to th M. C. Peters cereal mills. When Mr. Peters asked th city council to vacate certain streets and alleys In th northern portion of the city he also asked for water. Now that the water haa ben turned on the construction oi the cereal mills will go forward rapidly. A great deal of work has already been don by th Peters company. Barns for hay and alfalfa are under construction and work has been started on the brick boiler house. A eteel tank la being erected to hold molasses, which Is a part of the stock food product turned out by this concern. Grader are wanted to do soma work for th Burlington, which is to lay a single track on Twenty-ninth street from A' to D streets. At th present tlm most of the graders In th city are working and cannot get away to do this work. About t.000 yard of dirt I to be moved and officials of th Burlington road were In the city yesterday hunting up a grading outfit that could go to work at once. This mill when completed will add on more to th Indus tries of South Omaha and the expectation Is that mor mills of a almllar nature will soon follow. Will Bay Patrol Wagon. Officials of the city have Investigated th needs of the police department enough to recognise that a patrol wagon is needed and on will be purchased as toon as th new fir department headquarters are ready for occupancy. Chairman Maason of th Police board seems to think that a one horse wagon will be sufficient, but council men are opposed to anything of the kind and will purchase an up-to-date wagon and a team. This will necessitate the hiring of a driver and a conductor, making tpur ad ditional men, two for day and two for night duty. The team and wagon will be housed at fire department headquarters and the cost of maintenance will come out of the fire and police funds. When a patrol wagon Is plnced in service officers on beats will not be compelled to walk prisoners to the police stlttion, but can send In a wagon oal! from the nearest patrol box. Thla will give patrolmen more time on their beats and the service will be greatly Improved by the Installation of a wagon and a driver. In addition to a wagon the police depart ment need at leaat two mounted officers, one for day and the other for night duty, but this cannot be done with the amount set aside by the council for police service. Taxpayers get very little, really, for the amount paid for police. Seventeen men ar on the rolls at a coat of over S1.S0O a month. Six uniformed men work days and the same number nights, and theae can cover but a very little territory. As laid out now the . patrolmen's beats are on Twenty-fourth street from A to Q. on Q street, on L street and on Missouri avenue. A man Is also detailed on N street, but he stands liable to be (sed gway any minute. "South Omaha ought., to have at least twenty patrolmen," said Chief Brlggs. But there is no' money to pay this number of men. Paperlagr Ichowl Hoases. A contract has been let by the Board of Education for tha papering of the Central and West Side schools houses. Joseph Koutsky, who has the contract, said last evening that It would take not leaa than 1,000 rolla of paper for the Central school and about 400 rolls for the West Side school, his Work is to commence at once.

The Janitors recently elected will report for duty a week before the schools open in order that the buildings may be cleaned and aired. None of the additions to buildings will be ready by September 1, The Corrlgan school Is nearly ready, but the Madison and Lincoln buildings are way behind. At Corrlgan th work will be completed with the possible exception of the finishing touches on th heating apparatus. In making out his Hat of teachers and the assignment of rooms to pupils. Super intendent McLean la not taking Into con sideration the addttlona to buildings. It wak only within a day or two that Con tractor Gruah started to work moving the fram building at Twenty-sixth and M street to Twenty-third and R streets. This building waa to bs In place by August 15, but th building Is still on Jacks at th original site. With all these delays there will be an overcrowded condition of th present school buildings until some of th additions are completed and ready to be used. Beat Seeks Proaaotloa.
